The Watcher

The Watcher

 

I’m the one standing behind you when you turn

But you can’t see even if your eyes burn.

I’m the one standing there laughing at your actions

Laughing at the utter stupidity of your factions.

 

I will watch and learn and seek to know

What this world’s inhabitants have sown.

Humans or not you fall to my mercy

Brains so dull, undeserving of pity.

 

I will watch the scenes like a movie going geek

Yes I hate to admit, but I’m one of you freaks.

But I will watch and learn from your folly

And correct, within my mind, this lunacy.

 

I will watch whatever you put me to

Because I’m great like that you wolf, you fool.

The torture you bring me, which I try to find

Some form of amusement to go with some wine.

 

I will watch this world cause this is my job

Which I love and hate, this whole lot.

I love the amusing actions you show me

I hate that you try to blind me, but I See.

 

I am the one that watches you from the sidelines

And comments and laughs at all your kind.

I am the one that sees all as the same

Repeated madness in this world of cocaine.

- J.
